body
Statement of Issue:
Transmitted for your consideration is Tentative Tract Map No. 18157 and Conditional Use Permit No. 17-042, a request to permit a one-lot subdivision and development of a four-story mixed-use building including 48 new condominium residences with 891 square feet of commercial space and three levels of subterranean parking located at 8041 Ellis Avenue. Staff recommended approval of the project with suggested findings and conditions of approval to the Planning Commission. On June 11, 2019, the Planning Commission voted to deny the project. The property owner, Tahir Salim, filed a timely appeal, per Section 248.20 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance (HBZSO), of the Planning Commission's decision on June 20, 2019. Per Section 248.20(D) "De Novo Hearing", "The reviewing body shall hear the appeal as a new matter. The original applicant has the burden of proof. The reviewing body may act upon the application, either granting it, conditionally granting it or denying it, irrespective of the precise grounds or scope of the appeal. In addition to considering the testimony and evidence presented at the hearing on the appeal, the reviewing body shall consider all pertinent information from the file as a result of the previous hearings from which the appeal is taken." At the August 19, 2019, City Council meeting, the Council opened the public hearing and continued the appeal to the September 3, 2019, meeting at the property owner's request.
